Pat Steir — Small Waterfall
Pat Steir

Small Waterfall

2014

Pat Steir's *Small Waterfall* (2014) is an oil on canvas that exemplifies her signature technique of pouring and dripping paint down the surface of the canvas, evoking the fluid, cascading movement of falling water. The work balances spontaneity and control, with luminous streams of paint descending against a dark, atmospheric ground. Steir's process-driven approach draws on influences from both Abstract Expressionism and East Asian ink painting traditions.
